Surgery scheduled for March at IU Health formerly Clarian Bariatrics.
Is there anyone that has either gone there for lap band
surgery or are planning on going there?
I have my date set for March 28, 2011 and go for pre-op testing on Monday March
14, 2011.
I hope that everything goes OK with the testing.
I have Dr. Ditslear as my surgeon. Any comments about him?
I was originally wanted the vertical sleeve but my insurance would not approve
it. I thought about the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass but decided that I would try
the lap band first.
I realize that the weight loss is not as fast but the restrictions
on food are less.
Anybody have the lap band and wish they would have done
something else?
MARCH 2011 BANDSTERS!

I had my Lapband done on March 28, 2011 at the IU Health Hospital in Carmel Indiana. I am the first one in Indiana that had their surgery done with the Davinci robot. I was in surgery for 2 hours and recovery for 2 hours and release the next day. I was off all pain meds by the third day. I did have a lot of nausea and could not drink anything for a few days but now am doing fine. Still a little weak but gaining daily.
